EV Startup Volta Trucks Bring Full-Electric Volta Zero to Italy in June

Full-electric commercial vehicle manufacturer Volta Trucks has confirmed that the Volta Zero will make its Italian debut between 7 and 11 June in Milan.

The Volta Zero is the world’s first purpose-built full-electric 16-tonne vehicle designed for inner-city logistics, reducing the environmental impact of freight deliveries in city centres.

The customer event in Italy comes soon after similar successful French and Spanish events that have seen over 600 individual demonstrations of the Volta Zero in COVID-secure environments.

The arrival in Italy also follows the company’s recently announced Europe-first principles within its Road-to-Zero Emissions strategy, with Volta Trucks set to launch four full-electric commercial vehicles and increase its projected sales volumes to over 27,000 by 2025.

Designed from the ground up with an operating pure-electric range of 150 - 200 kms, the Volta Zero will eliminate an estimated 1.2 million tonnes of CO2 by 2025.

Commenting on the development, Carla Detrieux, Business Development Director of Volta Trucks, said “introducing Italian customers and fleet operators to the Volta Zero in Milan is an exciting continuation of our European tour of sustainability-focused cities. With our focus on safety, thanks to the design freedoms offered by the compact electric drivetrain, and our sustainability ambitions, we are seeing an ever-increasing demand from customers who are on their own journeys to decarbonise their operations. Volta Trucks, and the Volta Zero, are the perfect partner for those customers, and with our Truck as a Service proposition, we support customers on every step of the migration to electrification. I’m looking forward to introducing the Volta Zero to our Italian customers, researching the market, and further understanding their vehicle requirements.”
